heya. i’m pretty new to online dating and all as i had met my previous relationships through organic connections. i’m honestly feeling pretty lost about this connection and would love to hear your thoughts on it.

i’m 25F, and i matched with this girl 26F about a month ago on hinge. we’ve been on one date, it was really fun and honestly we kind of hit it off, and i think i really liked her! we both agreed that we’re looking for something long-term. then, she hit me with the “actually i’m going to be out of town indefinitely”…and she went back to her hometown on a one-way ticket. supposedly, she will be back in end jan.

we’ve been texting almost daily, though usually the texting frequency on her end is pretty inconsistent. most of the times there’s just so much anticipation on my end, and it feels like i’m always waiting for a response from her, i know texting isn’t everything but when she’s so far away it’s like the only means of access i have to her you know?

we’ve clarified that the feelings are mutual, and that we’re both open to seeing how everything unfolds. but the emphasis is on how this is supposed to be no pressure, and how we don’t want to force anything.

but with the daily texting, i feel like i’m getting overly invested. though i don’t know if she is. it just feels like this connection is so ambiguous and i’m so unsure all the time about where it’s headed, and the distance doesn’t help either.

and i’m looking forward to seeing her again, but i don’t know anymore really. genuinely, what do you think?
